Questions about adventures

[trevius]

All of GeorgeS' tools work on remote Hosts as long as you have port 3306 open and have an account that can be used from the host you are using the tool from. I don't know if that is an option for PEQ, or if you guys keep port 3306 closed for security reasons, but if it is an option, it isn't hard to setup. I always just set my MySQL outside accounts to work only from a single host/IP to keep security as high as possible with having 3306 open.

If that isn't an option, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to generate an SQL file, since I believe that any changes from his tools simply run queries to do the updates anyway. Should be able to just write those queries to a file instead, I would think.

I will mention this and see what he thinks. He probably doesn't know much about the Adventure stuff yet, so I don't know how long it would take.

One other option would be for Cavedude to use ssh port forwarding to get at port 3306. I know putty supports port forwarding as does the sshd server on every linux distro i've seen.

I use it to get at ports remotely that I wouldn't want open to the world to access. It's pretty simple to setup too. I've not done so with putty but I have used it many times through linux ssh.

Let me know if you'd like more information on this.

I have given the whole scope a 'once over' and workflow has begun. I'm prototyping the sql and will begin this today.
